It doesn't take a graduate of the Dr. Phil School of Pointing out Obvious Shit to understand that nagging can ruin a marriage. But did you know that, according to the Wall Street Journal, women are usually the ones who do it? Dear women: Stop ruining marriage. How many times do you need to be reminded? More »

Buried in the standard fare of WSJ.'s profile of Anna Wintour — "She's been editor of the American edition of Vogue since 1988, and by now it has become commonplace to call her the most powerful woman in fashion" is the line that tells you everything you already didn't need to know — come a few little reflective gems, some from Wintour herself and some from her powerful friends and associates.

A new rape alarm called the "Ila Dusk" is set to go on sale in the UK in a month, and it claims to be more effective than previous alarms because, instead of a siren, the alarm emits the sound of a "woman screaming." Thing is, it isn't that effective, as the Guardian's Emine Saner discovered when she decided to test the alarm out in the streets of London. Most people passed her by and/or looked annoyed since the Ila sounds less like a woman screaming and more like an animal dying (or, as one man thought, a kid playing). Maybe instead of buying rape alarms, women should be getting self-defense lessons? Clip above. More »

In an article about marketing non-dowager clothes to middle aged women, Wall Street Journal fashion writer Teri Agins reviews Bloomingdales' foray into the boomer market, called "Quotation," a line that wants to "appeal to mature women as well as 20-year-olds." This alone is unremarkable, but what did catch my eye was what Agins ended up buying at her local Westchester Bloomies: "What finally convinced me to try on a blue print nylon mesh baby doll top — a teen trend I had already rejected — was a knowledgeable sales woman, who acted more like a personal shopper than a cashier. I was thrilled the top showed that I had a waistline." Really? it showed that you have a waistline? Because usually "baby doll" tops — the gauzy, billowy things that they are — make women look at least four months up the stick. Anyone with boobs to speak of looks vaguely pregnant in the nursery-inspired looks that are clogging up the racks at most department stores and are you not OVER IT? More »

Good, cause it's time for finance roundup, that thing we're doing so we don't lose all our neurons to the silicon-silicone vortex. (Get that? Please?) Basically the big news today is that the Fed Chief, who is no longer Alan Greenspan so we really don't trust him, has called a recession "unlikely" despite all the bad news for the housing market, meaning you may actually be able to afford those babydoll dresses and lumberjack flannels along with your rent this time around. But probably not. Because economic health is for rich people. More »
